LEWIS is getting his bushy eyebrows into the papers again. This time he wants to join up with the AFL, and Dan Tobin of the Teamsters thinks there is a good chance he'll make it. Green and Lewis will Abe buddies again. The weakling and the reactionary traitor of the American labor scene are going to shake hands and call it quits, and some editorial writers hail labor unity. A national racketeer who tiled to hold up the government in time of war, now says he wants to join up with an organiza- tion full of small-fry local racketeers and its called labor unity. Hail Lewis, hail the AFL, hail labor unity! I, for one, am not going to celebrate. The AFL which plugged for the recent amendments to the Wagner Act so it could continue to rake in $3;0t10,000 worth of dues from the Kaiser Shipyards loins up with the man at least indir- ectly responsible for the passage of the Con- naly Anti-Strike Act. Good combination.T'ihat's it, racketeers, let's gang up on New Deal labor legislation. I'd ather Be Right By SAMuEL GRAFTON NEW YORK, July 24.- Don't look now, but the Republicans are beginning to develop glam- our. When hundreds of Republicans can meet in New York to denounce isolation, to denounce it magnificently, with heart-felt invective, they definitely become interesting. Up to now, most leading Republicans have been of interest merely to each other. Vanden- berg has been fascinated by Taft, and McCor- mick has been enthralled by Bricker. Hoover has found Dewey thrilling, and Clarence Bud- ington Kelland thinks Harrison Spangler is won- derful. But it has all been the rather special admira- tion of lodge brothers for each other; not of much moment outsde, in the general market- place. Most orations by members of this group on behalf of each other as Presidential timber have had to be interrupted from time to time while a mirror was held to the prospective. candidate's lips to see whether he was still alive. It is hard to work up a smashing peror- ation while your subject is passing out on you politically, or, even worse, vanishing during your grand climax. There was Governor Brieier, for example, and his amazing trick of disappearing from-public sight while standing on a platform in full view of the audience. But there is a different kind of Republican. Hundreds of him have just met in New York. These are live Republicans. You do not have to hold a mirror to a man's mouth when you hear him saying (as did Mayo Shattuck, president of the, Massachusetts Bar Association) that his party must, "show the people of the United States that the election of a Republican administration does not mean another gang of inward-turning, narrow-minded, isolationist stuffed shirts." They called themselves the Eastern regional conference of the Republican Post-War Policy Association. The McCormicks have tried to brush the group off by calling it a "Willkie outfit." But the MeCormicks always try to brush big things off by giving tiny little names. In the special, private talk of their lodge, the world's hmger for colletive security is "a New Deal idea." They are forever studying large issues through reducing glasses, When Wkllkie offers to run against McCormick in the Illinois primaries, to test out the issue of international collaboration, Col. McCormick de- clares that this is an effort by W. W. to "get his name in the papers." He never sees it big if he can manage to see it little. Thus the Colonel and his friends, staring furiously at this blessed, amazing and unex- pected world through the wrong end of a tele- scope, discover that plans for improved world trade are really plans to "force milk on Hot- tentots." The Colonel has turned the same inverted telescope on the war in the Pacific, and he re- ports happily that "Roosevelt's in a hell of a position. If MacArthur wins a great victory, he will be President. If he doesn't win one, it will be because Roosevelt has not given him suffi- cient support." And at night, in his study, he counts electoral votes, letting them ripple through his fingers. A few more in Kansas and New Jersey, and the whole world can be made to stand still and then go backward. But I am. afraid the Colonel and his friends are.not going to be able to brush.off,-this New York meeting of Republicans. They can, call it; a meeting of a Wikie outfit if they like. I think it. was a branch. meeting of the human race. R The Republican Party is splitting. Men like I hear the New York Journal American is cele-. brating today. Johnny Lewis and Bill Green are buddies again. That's good for labor, you know. Really American. A few weeks ago they said Joe Ryan's union was really American when it elected red-baiting Joe president for life. But this Lewis-Green agreement, why that's even more American. What we need is more Lewises, Greens and Ryans on the American scene and less of the ilk of those radical CIO unionists. THAT'S what the Hearst press thinks. But, that is not what every available fact proves. Scores of AFL unions do not hold annual conventions. Scores of unions do not have any vigorous discussion of policy at their conventions. Some AFL unions don't even have a chance to vote out their officers be- cause there is only one slate running. Does" Lewis fit into that picture? What do you think? Lewis who has crushed any opposition by use of thugs and usurped power, who has run "unopposed" in the large majority of his twenty campaigns for the union presidency? Would such a man fit in? The majority of AFL leaders, however, aren't worried by the dictatorship existing in Lewis's union, nor are they worried about his direct sabotage of the war effort. They are worrying only about how they and Lewis will divide the money and power in the AFL. They are worried lest Lewis, in joining, will take away from them some of their fat salaries or some of their dues- collecting territory. But some of these leaders are so much afraid of the growing power of the CIO that they are willing to give, and give plenty to Lewis, i he will join them in a full-fledged fight against the CIO and perhaps also the Administration. There is undoubtedly more, however, to this whole issue than labor politics. The 1944 election campaign is directly affected by the Lewis move. For with the help of Lewis, the Republican Hutchins-Woll block -in the, AFL will be able to pledge the AFL to the Republi- can party with the Secretaryship of Labor as the price, and with it will be able to crush the CIO in a government-employer-union pincers. THE COMING UNION between two semi-total- itarian and decrepit organizations will mean a step backward for the American labor move- ment. It will mean an endorsement by the dem- ocratic unions of the AFL of the policies of John L. Lewis. It will mean that good patriotic Amer- icans will, with their dues, help "save face" for a man who hAs lost 20,000,000 tons of coal to the war effort. Can these patriotic trade unionists permit this to happen? Ulfortunately that is no longer the question. The point is can they stop it now that it has gone this far? I think that they can. If Lewis is deprived of the support of both of America's great labor organizations, tormented as he is by rebellion in his own union, his power will wither and die and the labor movement will be able effectively to destroy the other traitors and racketeers within their ranks. If, on the other hand. Lewis is saved now, given more power, allowed to hide behind the AFL's cloak of respectability, and permitted to use the dues of AFL members for his nefarious schemes, then it will be the duty of all progressive Americans to crush the AFL along with Lewis. A development of this sort can and must be stopped now. It can be Stopped by patriotic AFL members who under the leadership of sin- cere and responsible leaders like Dubinsky of the ILGWU can voice their determination to have nothing to do with Lewis. It must be stopped if the AFL is to continue to retain the respect of the overwhelming majority of the American people to whom Lewis is America's Benedict Arnold of World War II. c cetten t o the &itor AS - - ''0MUCH cannot be said against the idea WASHINGTON, July 24.- Those who have peeked at Vice-President Wallace's address to be delivered in Detroit Sunday, say that it is the fightingest, toughest speech of his career. That is saying a lot, since he has delivered a couple of others which made Republicans indulge in name-calling and which were read with avid interest all over the world. Inside fact is that Wallace was planning a fighting speech even before his public row with Jesse Jones and his rebuff from, the President. The VP plans his speeches a long time in advance, sometimes spends weeks preparing them, writes them almost exclus- ively himself. So, any acid statements in the Detroit speech will not be the result of the Jones row. Basically they will result from the fact that the Vice- President has decided to take up the old liberal mantle where Roosevelt dropped it with the war. The President has given complete approval to Wallace picking up the mantle. He read every word of the Detroit speech and even put in some punch lines. However, whether the President approved or not, the bets of those who know Wallace are 100 to 1 that he will continue the liberal fight. Basically shy, not given to easy expression, Wallace doesn't rouse easily. But when he does get started he doesn't stop. lie now feels that the old economic- social issues which Roosevelt faced during the bank holiday period of 1933 are back again, and that someone has to carry the ball. Cox Tops 'Em All Congressman Eugene Coi of Geor- gia has now set the all-time high for helping himself and family at the expense of American taxpa ers. Oth- er Congressmen from time to time have put their relatives on the gov- ernment payroll, but none has ever come anywhere near Cox's record for getting so many feet in the feed- box. At present he has six relatives on the payroll, for an annual total of $30,120, including his own Con- gressional salary. In addition he has now secured By DREW PEARSON from Congress a handout of the tax-I payers' money to the tune of $60,000 to investigate the Federal Communi- cations Commission after that Com- missionunearthed a check for $2,500 allegedly received by Cox for lobby- ing. It is a criminal offense for a Congressman to lobby with a gov- ernment bureau, so the FCC re- ferred the matter to the Justice Department. Whereupon Cox per- suaded his brethren on Capital Hill to investigate his FCC accus- ers and make him "impartial" chairman of the probe. Here is the detailed breakdown of Cox's nepotism: Rosa Robinson, Cox's secretary, is J i his sister-$3,380 a year. J. Chaney Robinson, her husband and Cox's brother-in-law, is assis- tant House bill clerk-$3,120 a year. Grace Cox, wife of the Congress- man, is a clerk in his office-$3,120. Robin Cox, Sr., a brother, post- master at Donalsonville-$2,400. Mrs. Jim Cox Hoggard, a sister, postmistress at Camilla (Cox's home town)-$2,550. Charles M. Cox, a nephew, senior administrative officer of the Agri- cultural Ad justment Administra- tion's special program division, who says he got his job without Cox's aid-$5,600 a year. Congressman Cox's yearly salary- $10,000.

F. Blicke. By action of the Executive Board the Chairman may invite members that punishment and reprisals solve pr lems. They only create more hatred wh makes the situation worse. Cooperation amo all nations is essential to winning the peace. 'ob- ich ong The Germans may "hate us for winning the war" but deliberately killing 5,600,000 of them would do nothing but sabotage any effort to set up a- workable government in Gertnany. The people would never put up with any cooperation with the United Nations. Which would you rather do: pave the way for another Nazi party or try to get along with them? Of course you could make Germany so weak that she would be no problem. Why stop at killing 5,000,000? You might as well kill off a few million more; then you would have fewer to bother with. You cannot draw a hard and fast line between the guilty and the inno- cent when it comes to war guilt-especially not when you try to draw it as high as 5,000,- 000. The occupied countries in Europe have suf- fered perhaps beyond our power to comprehend,' but I doubt if they are savage enough to believe I
